As more and more online services start collecting user data through various methods such as cookies, data privacy issues can no longer be ignored. The governments of many countries have enacted privacy laws and regulations – such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) – that set rules for how online services can collect and interact with user data.
If your website or app collects user data, you’re likely subject to comply with one or more of these laws. For example, if you target users in the EU, you are subject to comply with the GDPR and the EU Cookie Law – even if your company isn’t based in the EU.
These laws outline strict requirements for informing users of your cookies, allowing users to set cookie preferences, and collecting user consents to cookie use.
Furthermore, tech giants like Google enforce their own cookie disclosure rules. For instance, if you want to use Google Analytics or AdMob services, you need to declare your use of cookies to your users.
To avoid devastating fines, continue to use platforms and services like those provided by Google, and earn the trust of your consumers, you need to establish compliant cookie practices. Read on for information regarding the laws that affect your cookie use, and how you can leverage our cookie consent solution to comply with worldwide laws and regulations.
